46. Discuss the concept of offenders as victims. Should people engaged in illegal activities be considered genuine victims
when they are on the receiving end of criminal acts? Explain.
ANSWER:
Victims who are engaged in illegal activities tend to take more risks and live a vicarious
lifestyle, prone to victimization. Victimologists need to consider the offender as a victim
because social scientific inquiry should be objective and unbiased; so too should the
criminal justice system and as such should provide the same opportunities to press charges
and seek redress.
Victims may later turn to crime. Research has demonstrated children who are abused

47. Explain the similarities and differences between criminology and victimology. Provide three examples of each.
ANSWER:
Similarities: Both are interested in crime, use scientific methods of inquiry, are
interdisciplinary, are interested in crime prevention/reduction, and provide insight into the
crime rate in the United States.
Differences: Criminology focuses on the offender while victimology focuses on the victim.
Victimologists are concerned with how victims are treated throughout the criminal justice
process. Criminologists are concerned with why people commit crime. Victimologists are
sometimes mocked and their work is equated with victimism—meaning biased toward
victims. Criminologists do not suffer under this bum rap. Criminology has a far longer
history than victimology, the latter only having been part of the research agenda since the
1940s. Criminologists limit their research to criminal behavior; victimologists do not agree
that their research should be limited to only crime victims. Some victimologists are
interested in war victims, political victims, victims of natural disasters, and so on.

48. Explain some good reasons for studying victimology, even if a student is not majoring in criminology or criminal
justice.
ANSWER:
Studying victimology can reduce some risks for being victimized and can put concerns and
fears about potential victimization into perspective. Intellectual benefits also include
gaining insights into today’s society and everyday life, for example, tracing personal
problems to larger social problems and developing a “sociological imagination”; and
exercising a “criminological imagination” to understand historical, societal, and cultural
influences on the plights and treatment of victims and social reactions to these. Another
benefit comes from learning how to ease victims’ plights, which not only benefits the
victims but also can give the helper a sense of purpose, accomplishment, satisfaction, and
self-worth.

49. What is the principle of homogamy, and how has it been demonstrated in the study of road rage?
ANSWER:
Some researchers who have studied both parties suggest that they have uncovered
situations that illustrate the principle of homogamy: that both offenders and victims share a
great deal in common, socially and demographically (according to surveys about
aggressive driving that asked about lesser skirmishes in addition to violent episodes). The
picture they have painted from their data is that the two persons caught up in the
confrontation tend to resemble each other closely. Both usually are males; often in their
twenties and thirties; generally of lower socioeconomic status; frequently with drug and
drinking problems; perhaps exhibiting a “macho” personality; sometimes driving around
in a high-performance vehicle or sports car with tinted windows; and most disturbingly, all
too often going around armed with guns.

50. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) might occur to victims after they have experienced the traumatic event of a
crime. Identify an example in this chapter of a specific type of victimization that can lead to PTSD. What are some aspects
of this problem that researchers seek to investigate?
ANSWER:
PTSD is a mental health/forensic psychology term for how victims react to being harmed
by crime. An example in this chapter is the societal phenomenon of “road rage,” which can
cause motor vehicle collisions, which in turn can result in PTSD for some victims. One
import angle to the research is the study of why some victims have PTSD and some do
not. Victims who are more resilient in the aftermath of crime may have different
personality traits, coping skills, inner resources, or belief systems to help them process the
harm.
